Olive was born in Brimley, Michigan on January 1, 1922, the daughter of the late George and Helen (Holmes) Albrough. Olive graduated from Superior High School in Brimley in 1939 and married Armas B. Soorus in 1940. Shortly after their marriage, Olive and Armas moved to Detroit where they lived until retirement. Olive dedicated her life to her family, raising her four children and being a wonderful grandmother for her grandchildren. She was the light of our lives.

In 1979 Olive and Armas returned to Dafter to build their retirement home closer to family and friends. Olive loved the new home and proximity to her friends and family.

Olive was preceded in death by her daughter: Dorothy Rousseau, her parents, two brothers, and sons-in-law Ronald Torzynski and Kenneth Rousseau. She is survived by her daughters: Sonja (Jerry) Wilson and Sandra (Greg) Bishop; and son: Armas (Rose) Soorus; five grandchildren: James Torzynski, Robert (Gita) Torzynski, Cynthia (Paul) Drury, Richard Torzynski, Julie (Don) Fraser; and six great grandchildren: Forest Torzynski, Rosie Torzynski, Evan Torzynski, Alex Fraser, Collin Fraser, Addison Fraser.

Olive's wishes were that no public memorial service be held. Family and friends are asked to remember her and the good times and laughter they shared.

Robert Cecil Bloom, age 73, passed away Thursday morning, November 8, 2012 at his home in Detour Township, Michigan.

Arrangements are incomplete at this time, but will be announced by C.S. Mulder Funeral Home.
